First, RTM passwd(1):
Privileged User Options
Only a privileged user can use the following options:
-d Deletes password for name and unlocks the
account. The login name is not prompted for pass-
word. It is only applicable to the files and ldap
repositories.
If the login(1) option PASSREQ=YES is configured,
the account is not able to login. PASSREQ=YES is
the delivered default.
If you want accounts with no passwords to be valid, you need
to set PASSREQ=NO in /etc/default/login.

Try booting in single user mode. Remember that the username
you enter and authenticate must have the solaris.system.maintenance
authorization (the root user does). RTM, sulogin(1m).
Also note that /etc/default/sulogin PASSREQ is not the same
as /etc/default/login
